Petcube 360 Camera
Petcube's tiny 360 cam is a strong budget option for petowners.
Tyler Lacoma/CNET
Pet cams can often be pricey, but this version from Petcube offers 360-degree views of your home, night vision and AI-powered pet alerts in a compact package that's very affordable -- and now, at 20% off for Pet Day, it's one of the cheapest pet tech options available for keeping an eye on your buddy.
Veterinarian Joanne Fernandez, a Petcube expert, highlighted some uses I hadn't encountered. "In my veterinary practice and personal life, I've found pet cameras to be invaluable tools. Some of my clients and telemedicine clients have cameras in their living room to monitor their senior pet with mild separation anxiety," she said. "They can see if their pet is resting comfortably rather than pacing anxiously."
This 1080p cam also includes two-way audio for talking and sound alerts for barking, although more advanced features do require a subscription. We've tested this cam in our homes, and we're fans of how easy it is to use.

Neakasa M1 Open-Top Self-Cleaning Litter Box
This self-cleaning litter box is an open design and has its own trash bag system.
Neakasa
Self-cleaning litter boxes have a habit of being expensive but 20% off on this high-tech model makes it significantly more affordable for cat lovers who want to invest. From app controls to built-in trash bags, there's not much this smart litter box can't do.
Two things in particular made us choose this discounted model. First, it's larger so even bigger, fluffier cats can use it, where many self-cleaning boxes are on the small side. Second, we've known cats who will only use an open-top litter box so it's nice seeing one when these models are usually enclosed.
Furbo 360-Degree Camera
Furbo's fun AI and 360-cam are a great combo.
Furbo/CNET
We like the expansive and often creative AI Furbo uses to give owners its best guess at what pets are doing (not always accurate, but frequently useful and sometimes hilarious). This model, at an excellent 45% off, combines that AI with a panning cam, two-way speaker and treat dispenser, available in dog and cat varieties.
The trick is that, for this low cam cost, you will need to add a Furbo Nanny subscription to unlock key features, which starts at about $5.30 per month.
PetSafe ScoopFree SmartSpin self-cleaning litter box kit
This high-tech litter box is perfect for the refined feline.
PetSafe
If your cat's at home in a litter pod, this sci-fi litter box kit includes everything you need to upgrade their bathroom time, now at 28% off. In addition to the app-controlled litter box, you also get a mat, an extra pack of waste bin bags and a collection of deodorizers to clear out the air.
The box is made for any kind of litter, and the app can track litter box use and even take a good guess at your pet's weight as they continue to use the box over time. Plus, as the box cleans itself, the fresh layer of litter makes it more friendly for multicat households when cats need to share a box.
Petlibro Cat Water Fountain
This wireless fountain doesn't have cords to chew.
Petlibro
Fresh water is vital for cat health, but getting them to drink it isn't always easy. This wireless water fountain recharges when plugged in and keeps water flowing for picky cats and small dogs. At 43% off, it's also quite affordable. The fountain holds 2.5 liters of water, is BPA-free, and features a stainless steel interior for easier cleaning. Also, the cordless design means there are no electrical cables to chew through. Just remember to keep it charged.
PetSafe Guard GPS and Tracking Collar
A digital fence collar could be just what your dog needs.
PetSafe
At 17% off, this rechargeable tracking collar allows you to set up to 20 different digital fences across 3/4 of an acre or more. It can also give you alerts and let you set a variety of control options, including tones, vibration and 10 levels of static shock. It's the most complete "digital fence" pet option we've seen, and now is a great time to get one. Just keep in mind that it requires a $10 monthly subscription to enable this collar.
PetSafe Smart Feed Electronic Feeder
PetSafe's feeder can schedule up to 12 events.
PetSafe
Pets on a diet or who like regular feeding times even when pet parents aren't home benefit greatly from automated feeders. At 13% off, you can save some money while shaving some pounds off your pet. It supports app scheduling that you can plan with your vet for the best health results, planning up to 12 meals and snack moments.
This model caught our eye for its surprising compatibility, featuring support for Alexa plus compatibility for Apple and Android phones for remote management. It also has backup batteries to keep working when the power is out and a stainless steel design that's made to be "flip proof" (although we haven't tested that part with rambunctious dogs).
Petlibro Automatic Cat Feeder with Camera
This feeding station included a built-in camera for alerts.
Petlibro
For an even more advanced version of a pet feeder, this Petlibor option includes an 1080p cam with night vision and is 34% off. The feeder allows you to set up to 10 routines and gives you motion and sound alerts, plus two-way audio. It will also send you notifications if it detects low food levels or a food blockage. If you want to save videos of your pet chowing down, you can add a microSD card for storage (not included).
Neakasa P1 Pro Pet Grooming Kit
This pet grooming vac has all the attachments you need for trimming and cleanup.
Neakasa
If your pets get a little too shed-happy, especially in warmer weather, you may need a high-tech cleaning solution for all that fur. This Neabot Neakasa kit is one of the most complete we've seen, with five different grooming heads for the little canister vacuum, and it's now 50% off. Tools include an adjustable trimming comb, multiple pet hair nozzles and more. Plus, it's designed to be low-noise so pets don't get too anxious during use.

Microsoft Installs Emergency Update On Windows PCs
Emergency update is now being installed. Another month, another emergency update for Windows users. After issuing several out-of-band updates to address update fails in May (1,2), here we are again in June. Only now, 'this OOB update downloads and installs automatically,' Microsoft says. Per Windows Latest which was first to report the initial problem and the response, this follows the June update failing to install on some PCs, primarily those with Easy Anti Cheat gaming software. 'As we suspected, something seemed odd with Windows 11 24H2 KB5060842 when Microsoft had paused the rollout briefly.' That interlude allowed a patch to be applied to the standard update, but this didn't work. Instead Microsoft withheld the update from affected PCs, which will now receive the emergency update instead. 'Windows users likely didn't experience this issue,' the Windows-maker says, because the standard update was not offered to at-risk PCs. According to Windows Latest, users had reported that 'the update showed up, but kept failing with the message: 'Some update files are missing or have problems. We'll try to download the update again later. Error code: (0x80073712)'.' Microsoft then confirmed 'compatibility issues' and applied a fix. But when the fix also failed, 'Microsoft made the final call to yank the buggy patch (KB5060842) because it wouldn't install, and replace it with [the new emergency update] KB5063060.' It's now clear this 'major issue' with June's Patch Tuesday 'causes PCs to reboot unexpectedly when launching games using Easy Anti-Cheat, such as Fortnite.' The emergency replacement for the Patch Tuesday update includes all cumulative fixes as well as the compatibility workaround. Microsoft says the OOB update 'downloads and installs automatically from Windows Update and Microsoft Update on devices with Easy Anti-Cheat installed and on devices that have not installed KB506842 yet.'

Yes, an iPhone Could Cost More Than $2,200 With Tariffs. Should You Buy One Now?
Tariffs could soon raise the price of iPhone. James Martin/CNET President Donald Trump announced he has made a deal with China, which could potentially affect the cost of a new iPhone -- but maybe not as much as you think. "WE ARE GETTING A TOTAL OF 55% TARIFFS, CHINA IS GETTING 10%," Trump said in a post on Truth Social, noting that he and China's president, Xi Jinping, still need to give their final approval for the deal. However, 55% "total" tariff incorporates 30% the countries agreed to in May (10% "reciprocal tariff" + 20% "fentanyl tariff") and approximately 25% from tariffs that Trump imposed on China during his first term, according to a White House official. Although 55% is substantially less than the original 145% tariff against China Trump originally put in place, it's still likely to result in higher prices for many items, said Michael Coon, associate professor of economics at the University of Tampa. And the new tariff deal doesn't take into account the 25% smartphone tariff Trump announced shortly after Apple said it was moving production of US iPhones to India. "I would suspect that the 25% smartphone tariff would be added on top of the existing tariffs in China," he said. "I think the smartphone tariff is more reaction to India -- Apple's announcement that they were going to ship most of their production to India." Apple didn't mention tariffs during its Worldwide Developers Conference this week, but with the rumored iPhone 17 due for a price hike -- regardless of tariffs -- is now the time to buy a new iPhone? Read more: Thinking About Buying a New iPhone? Here's Why You Should Wait How much could tariffs raise iPhone prices? We do the math Companies don't always pass the full tariff onto customers in the form of higher prices, but they can. Even if Apple could absorb some of the costs, you should expect to see significant price jumps if tariffs take effect. "They're still going to probably pass 80% to 90% onto consumers, if they can," Coon said. "Unless they wanted to do some sort of marketing ploy out of it, which I don't suspect they would want to do, because that would be directly going up against the administration." Based on the current tariff rate, iPhones manufactured in China are already subject to a 25% tariff (from Trump's first term), but could now get an additional 30% tariff. Goods from India currently have a 10% baseline tariff but that could potentially soar to 26% next month. Here's how the current tariffs and potential 25% Apple tariff could affect the price of the iPhone. These figures are based on our estimates and not confirmed by Apple: How much could iPhones made in China cost after tariffs? Current price With new 30% tariff New tariff + 25% smartphone tariff iPhone 16e (128GB) $599 $779 $928 iPhone 16 (128GB) $829 $1,078 $1,285 iPhone 16 Plus (128GB) $929 $1,208 $1,440 iPhone 16 Pro (128GB) $999 $1,299 $1,548 iPhone 16 Pro Max (256GB) $1,199 $1,559 $1,858 iPhone 16 Pro Max (1TB) $1,599 $2,079 $2,478 How much could iPhones made in India cost after tariffs? Current price Current 10% tariff Potential 26% tariff Potential 26% tariff + 25% smartphone tariff iPhone 16e (128GB) $599 $659 $755 $904 iPhone 16 (128GB) $829 $912 $1,045 $1,252 iPhone 16 Plus (128GB) $929 $1,022 $1,171 $1,403 iPhone 16 Pro (128GB) $999 $1,099 $1,259 $1,508 iPhone 16 Pro Max (256GB) $1,199 $1,319 $1,511 $1,810 iPhone 16 Pro Max (1TB) $1,599 $1,759 $2,015 $2,414 Based on Coon's estimates that Apple could pass along up to 90% of the tariff cost to customers, that could raise the price of a new iPhone 16 Pro Max (1 TB) assembled in China to $2,230. "Estimates say it would cost $3,500 to produce an iPhone in the US. So, it would still be cheaper to produce in China," Coon said. There's a lot more that goes into the price of an iPhone than simply where it's assembled. Apple sources components for its products from a long list of countries, which could face higher tariffs after the pause. And a tariff on goods doesn't necessarily mean prices will increase by the same amount. If companies want to stay competitive, they could absorb some of the costs to keep their prices lower. Apple did not respond to a request for comment. When could we see iPhone prices increase? It's unclear exactly when prices could go up, but if companies sell out of devices produced before the tariffs, they may have to increase prices on products in tariffed shipments. However, even if Apple can't avoid tariffs entirely, it has ways to offset the impact through its services -- including its music, news and data plans -- according to supply chain expert Joe Hudicka. "Apple will likely absorb some of the tariff costs up front to keep sticker prices stable, then pass the rest on to consumers gradually through service bundles, device longevity and ecosystem upgrades," he said. "Consumers will still pay, just not all at once." And regardless of how the tariff drama plays out, the Wall Street Journal reports that Apple plans to raise iPhone prices later this year. So expect prices to go up soon. Is it better to buy an iPhone and other tech now or wait? If you already planned to buy a new smartphone, buying it now might save you money. But if you don't need a new phone immediately, you might want to wait, said CNET Managing Editor Patrick Holland, who's been reviewing phones for CNET since 2016. "If iPhone prices rise, know that, like cars, the prices for used iPhones will likely rise, too," he said. "If Apple does raise its prices, you'll likely get more for your old iPhone when you trade it in, and that should offset any increased prices." If you don't have the cash on hand and are considering using a credit card or buy now, pay later plan just to avoid tariffs, make sure you have the money to cover the costs before you start accruing interest. With credit cards' average interest rates currently more than 20%, the cost of financing a big purchase could quickly wipe out any savings you'd get by buying before prices go up because of tariffs. "If you finance this expense on a credit card and can't pay it off in full in one to two months, you'll likely end up paying way more than a tariff would cost you," said Alaina Fingal, an accountant, founder of The Organized Money and a CNET Money Expert Review Board member. "I would recommend that you pause on any big purchases until the economy is more stable." One way to save on Apple products, even if prices go up, is to buy last year's model instead of the newest release or a used one. And trading or selling a used one can help offset the cost even more. "Apple has leaned into that with its Certified Refurbished program, much like the auto industry's used car model," Hudicka said. "This program helps extend the lifespan of devices, keeping customers in the Apple ecosystem longer while distributing the cost impact over time."
